What remains

You ruined my past, and are screwing up my present- but I won't let you touch my future.

July 17,

When I landed in Japan, there was no one to great me. Mother and father were undoubtedly at work. My nii-san was off doing his idol businesse with the rest of Starish. In many ways it was good. I need my time, to think over everything I had been told. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect for Them to approach me. In all honesty, I'm not even sure who they were. But something wasn't right. However I did listen to them for I recognized some of them, being students in my medical class.

At first I thought I only to be a hoax. Their beliefs with too much like myths. I would have had better luck folding a thousand paper cranes for Syo. To sacrifice the lives of people around him, to make his illness go away. It was ridiculous. I couldn't be more happy that nii-san has made friends. As far as I'm aware, his illness hasn't acted up in sometime. There is no way that those people were in their right mind. I shouldn't have even listened to them.

I found myself growing more anxious with every passing minute. Last night long after I tried to fall asleep on my own bed, I found myself worrying for nii-san's safety. It's been so long since he has been by my side. If something were to happen when I am not with him, who could help? I had felt him in Natsuki's care, but there is only so much he could do.

This only could mean one thing. Syo needed to be home, next to me. He needed me at his side to become well again. That's when that idea, the one They had given me creeped back into my mind. My nii-san wouldn't willingly come home. He hated this place. Not that I could ever blame him. Maybe all he needed was a push in the right direction. I could push, and should he not agree, I could give a more forceful shove. Anything to keep him safe. I suppose, in the end, that is all that matters.

I have still yet to contact Syo. If I am going to do this, it should be done right. After some studying, I have come to learn, that my nii-san had a rival group. After the defeat of Heavens though, he has become close with their youngest member, Mikado Nagi. He shall be the first piece to a puzzle I will lay out for him. Should he defeat my game and solve the puzzle, he will obtain the piece I have collected.

These pieces I collect will each have their own title, once I figure out my plan of attack, I will send Syo my message. Although, since I already know the answer, I will began that day. My timing must be flawless. I hope for my identity to remain a mystery to him long enough to do mental damage.

Should my plan succeed, Syo will never leave my side. Now all that is left is my research on how to do many things. So I will need time to collect pieces. I'll also need a map of this Master Coarse. Syo has told me many times how huge and vast it can seem. I should at very least know the battle ground. I will need a few days to set up some... interesting contraptions I have gotten into my hands these last two days.

Just wait for me Syo, I'll save you from that life.

Otoya looked up from the leather bound book. He found the difference between the 17th and the 18th very strange. Almost as if Kaoru had changed entirely. But mostly, it was a bunch of ranting about how worried he had been about Syo.

Otoya sighed putting the book down. His captor still wasn't home, but he'd rather not be found with the book. He shoved it under his white pillow case, and rolled over.

"Toki." He quietly said, talking to himself. "I don't know where to go from here. Can't you and the others give me a hint?"

Kaoru made his way up the steps. He had been out much longer than he expected. His eyes drifted to the chipping paint. He couldn't let Syo come home to this. Nothing was right. Everything was just wrong. This place was a nightmare, a hell that he had to live in.

He smirked a little as he opened the door. The stagnant air of the house hit him. Eyes drifting over to where his redheaded companion left his bag and shoes. Yes, he had finally trained Otoya to do just want he wanted without him even being there.

"Otoya." He called out.

After a few thumping noises and the sound of falling, the older male's door slowly opened. He peaked out. "Kaoru-san."

"How are you today, Otoya? Was your visits with nii-san nice?" He chimed sweetly, taking off his own shoes.

Ittoki sighed, pondering if he should tell the blonde about Syo. "Syo-chan asked me to take him outside today. I told him that I couldn't, like you said."

"Yes, he does want to get out of that white room recently. I thought I would visit him today." Kaoru stopped. "How would you like nii-san come home?"

"Syo... come home?" The redhead asked shocked.

"Of coarse, we would have to clean up a bit. Nii-san would get sick if he were to breathe in filthy air." Kaoru waved as he went passed Otoya into the room next to Syo's.

Otoya eyes widened. He hadn't gone into the room with Nagi. But more than that, Syo was coming home. He had thought for so long that Kaoru wanted his brother in the hospital. Why was he bringing him home?

Otoya looked at Kaoru's door, before going into his own room. He sat back down on his bed and flipped to the next page out the leather book.

I have finally caught my first piece. It wasn't easy, I was afraid that he would die in that car crash. If he would have been in the front instead of Kira, everything would have been ruined. Dragging him out of the car in the rain was also difficult. Doing all the work myself was rather tiring, my hands kept slipping from sweat or rain, I couldn't really tell.

After getting him home, he seemed fine. After he woke up, he believed that I was Syo. It was very amusing, I wonder if it will work the same when I go to the master coarse. Although something does worry me. It seems he has damaged his vocal cords, it may take time for him to recover.

Now on to my studies about Syo's sempais and band mates. Hopefully I can start tomorrow before they notice this Mikado Nagi is missing.

Wow... thanks for all the great reviews... not. Thank you Katie Horror. Although, I do understand if you guys can't review because of school or whatever... just yeah. Whatever. I hope i don't let anyone down to much with this chapter. But I don't like it much. Man, now I don't even want to type out the next chapter. Ugh...
